Dear Dr Quisumbing, 
I apologise for having to trouble you again 
about Ficus specimens, of the subgenus Synoecia , 
for Mr Corner, but it appears that the Philippine 
specimens of F.apiocarpa must have been overlooked. 
No Philippine material of this species was sent 
although Merrill (Enum, Phil. Plants) cites 5 collections. 
Merrill also gives F.peninsularis Elm. as a synonym 
so that the sheets may be placed under that name. 
A duplicate of Elmer 102}2, det. F■apiocarpa , from 
Buitenzorg, appears to be a new species so that 
Mr Corner would very much like to have more materia], 
and we would be most grateful if you could send it. 
Mr Corner has gone critically through most 
of the material which you sent and finds it extraordinarily 
intere sting. 
Yours sincerely, 
\
